WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000 I believe I've detected a pattern in today's tech news every story is connected a message being sent to us 00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:12.600 By someone keep watching and you'll see old Jimmy ain't so crazy after all 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:19.520 NVIDIA has unveiled their newest upscaling tech DLSS 5 which now stands for damn low-key 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:27.080 Slopsists or might as well because watching the demo video feels like your fingers slipped and you accidentally opened Facebook again 00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:30.600 I'm not mark this place which is allowed shrimp. Jesus. I missed you 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:38.200 The video seems to have thought the best way to continue developing their genuinely impressive DLSS tech was to run every frame through an AI 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:44.360 Yassify filter making sure the prompt contains the keywords photorealistic skilled photographer 00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:50.920 cinematic color grading. Oh, sorry NVIDIA responded to the flood of negative comments on the announcement video by clarifying 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:57.060 It's not a filter it inputs the game's color and motion vectors for each frame into the model 00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:05.840 and It infuses pixels with photoreal lighting and material which just sounds like explaining how an AI filter works 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.960 But hey, I'm not an expert. This isn't leather 00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:16.360 NVIDIA says this is the company's most significant breakthrough in computer graphics since the debut of real-time ray tracing in 2018 00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:23.600 It's so powerful. They needed to RTX 50 90s to run the demo the first one actually rendered the game while the second one was on 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.840 Sloppification duty now to be fair in that pinned comment 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.760 NVIDIA did say developers will be able to tweak DLSS 5's effects 00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:39.000 So maybe there will be less Sloppified versions of this but I guess we'll find out when it launches this fall and video out some other stuff at GTC 00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:46.120 But I wouldn't worry about them the keynote was mostly CEO Jensen Wang's excuse to rant out a captive audience about vertically integrated 00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:53.120 Accelerated computing infrastructure for two hours. See you just fell asleep for a second Microsoft has confirmed that some Samsung 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:58.840 PC's running Windows 11 are losing access to their C drive after installing last month's security update 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.000 God damn it Windows March was going so good for you 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:08.160 The company's known issues page noted that some users are getting hit with access denied errors when trying to access C 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.160 With the same access issue also cropping up with various apps and system utilities 00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:17.360 And if anyone asked this is the reason why I haven't responded to emails for the last couple of weeks 00:02:17.660 --> 00:02:19.660 You don't have a Samsung laptop 00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:28.220 Over on Reddit users have been sharing homebrewed fixes that involve logging in as an admin and manually restoring security permissions 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:34.560 Fortunately for Microsoft though this actually seems to be more of a Samsung issue than a Windows one because after a joint investigation 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.600 Microsoft identified the real culprit as Samsung's Galaxy Connect app the son of a bitch 00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:46.480 Microsoft has since pulled the app from the store and Samsung has republished a stable older version 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.920 Though recovery for already affected devices remains limited 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:57.700 La that said it's not all L's for Windows users as new insider builds now support monitor refresh rates above a thousand Hertz 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.480 finally With the possible ceiling reportedly raised all the way to 5,000 Hertz 00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:10.640 So for those of you rockin thousand Hertz predator f-sex monitor you're finally gonna be getting what you paid for a 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:16.520 Barely perceptible decrease in motion blur as rock just quietly revealed its second motherboard 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:22.640 That supports both ddr4 and ddr5 on the same board giving budget builders a fighting chance 00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:28.400 It actually assembling a PC in today's economy the h610 m combo 2 is a budget 00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:34.960 12th through 14th gen Intel motherboard with three dim slots to for ddr5 and one lone ddr4 slot 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:41.720 You can't use both types simultaneously and since there is only one ddr4 slot you'd be stuck in single channel 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.420 But at least with this motherboard you get options 00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:52.000 Asrock actually released a bigger version of this bad boy back in December with six RAM slots and dual channel support for the older 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:58.320 Dims, but this combo 2 version shrinks things down to hopefully come in a little cheaper because that's the whole point 00:03:58.320 --> 00:04:04.400 Right although as rock has yet to confirm pricing at least they have some time a report from South Korea's Chosun 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.680 Biz says Samsung internally expects the RAM shortage to last until late 2028 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:17.600 Existential drag with manufacturers now hesitant to build too much new capacity for fear of over-investing before the AI boom 00:04:18.080 --> 00:04:23.360 cools off So if you're building a PC anytime soon 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.960 Maybe light a candle for your wallet and then sell the candle because you're gonna need the money for a single stick of ddr4 memory 00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:35.160 To sit beside your empty ddr5 slots plus the sick deal from our sponsor 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:42.400 Okay, so the quick bits through a bit of a wrench in my conspiracy theory because they had too much sugar on our last stake 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:44.400 Out and started a wrench fight 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:53.880 Rich through a wrench Apple just announced the AirPods Max 2 with upgraded features including studio quality mics 00:04:54.760 --> 00:04:57.920 live translation and a camera remote all for 00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:04.960 $549 for just $50 more you could get the Mac book neo an entire computer or for $150 more 00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:10.560 You can get the Mac Pro wheels which are wheels or for zero extra dollars 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.880 And if you're in the Seattle area you could get a flamethrower 00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:22.200 Legally we're not telling you to buy a flamethrower But if you had a flamethrower you could probably get a pair of AirPods for free kind of 00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:31.800 How coercion? The Xbox one long-considered Microsoft's most secure product ever has finally been hacked 12 years after launch 00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:43.040 security researcher Marcus Gassellin Unveiled the bliss exploit at Reverse 2026 using precisely timed voltage glitches to bypass the console's boot rom at the 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:51.920 Silicon level making it completely unpatchable It only works on the original chunky model and requires soldering to the motherboard so don't get too excited 00:05:52.600 --> 00:06:00.040 But it's a huge win for digital preservation and honestly 12 years unhacked is a solid run the ps4 only made it 3 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:07.720 So I guess Xbox did win at least one battle in the console war the one that mattered the least 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:17.080 Meta will be ending support for end-to-end encryption in Instagram DMs after May 8th apparently not enough people were using the opt-in feature 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:25.600 Probably because like me they didn't even know about it I could have been securely ordering Chinese peptides on the Instagrams this whole time 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.880 The company support page warns users with encrypted chats to download their messages and media before they lose access 00:06:32.200 --> 00:06:39.080 Given that this is coming in the midst of the ongoing discussion about privacy versus safety with the EU expected to roll out new rules 00:06:39.080 --> 00:06:43.160 Around encrypted chats. I wouldn't be surprised if meta decided it wasn't worth the headache 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:48.760 It will be a headache where for the roughly seven high school kids using this feature to migrate all their hot goss 00:06:48.760 --> 00:06:55.400 But what happened last weekend a Jenny Tabuno's pool party to another app Niantic Spatial has partnered with Cocoa Robotics 00:06:55.400 --> 00:07:02.680 Giving the delivery bot company access to a visual positioning system trained on over 30 billion images from Pokemon Go players 00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:09.280 All those years of scanning poker stops and gyms created a centimeter accurate map of city streets right for a new 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.640 Clankomon to be got it around where GPS doesn't cut it Niantic use synergy 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:25.040 Niantic CEO John Hanks said getting Pikachu to realistically run around and getting Cocoa's robot to safely navigate the world is actually the same problem 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:32.120 So this isn't as weird as it sounds Guess that Pokemon X Domino's ad from 2009 was just foreshadowing and 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:39.000 Noctua is teasing what appears to be the Antec Flux Pro Noctua edition a full-tower case decked out in their signature brown 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.840 With a wood grain front panel first shown off at Computex last year 00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:47.400 It ships with six of Noctua's premium G2 fans about 250 dollars worth of loan 00:07:47.640 --> 00:07:56.400 But it could come with an unrefrigerated tub of cottage cheese It still wouldn't dampen the hype for a new product from the only PC gaming hardware company with actual taste 00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:58.920 Everything's brown, but it's a nice brown 00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:03.400 Like a station wagon and that's just a taste of all the fresh check news 00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:06.680 You'll get when you come back on Wednesday and look I'll be honest with you 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.760 I could not connect the dots of this conspiracy 00:08:09.760 --> 00:08:15.760 But I did use a bunch of red string for my unhinged conspiracy board and I think it looks pretty cool 00:08:15.760 --> 00:08:18.800 Follow me on Pinterest. It's just off-screen. I could get it 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.800 But it's big and maybe next time
